GPT-5.5
OpenAI1. Strongest Agentic Coding Model
- State-of-the-art on Terminal-Bench 2.0 (82.7%), Expert-SWE (73.1%), and SWE-Bench Pro (58.6%), outperforming GPT-5.4 on complex coding tasks.
- Holds context across large systems, reasons through ambiguous failures, and carries changes through surrounding codebases with fewer tokens.
2. Higher Intelligence at GPT-5.4 Latency
- Co-designed, trained, and served on NVIDIA GB200/GB300 NVL72 systems to match GPT-5.4 per-token latency while performing at a significantly higher level.
- Uses fewer tokens to complete the same tasks, making it more efficient as well as more capable.
3. Powerful for Knowledge Work & Computer Use
- Scores 84.9% on GDPval (44 occupations) and 78.7% on OSWorld-Verified for autonomous computer operation.
- Excels at generating documents, spreadsheets, and reports; naturally moves across finding information, using tools, and checking output.
4. Scientific Research Co-Scientist
- Leading performance on GeneBench, BixBench, and FrontierMath; helped discover a new proof about Ramsey numbers verified in Lean.
- Strong enough to meaningfully accelerate progress at the frontiers of biomedical and mathematical research.
Claude 4.1 Opus
Anthropic1. Advanced Coding Performance
-
Achieves 74.5% on SWE-bench Verified, improving the Claude family's state-of-the-art coding abilities.
-
Stronger at:
- Multi-file code refactoring
- Large codebase debugging
- Pinpointing exact corrections without unnecessary edits
-
Outperforms Opus 4 and shows gains comparable to jumps seen in past major releases.
2. Improved Agentic & Research Capabilities
- Better at maintaining detail accuracy in long research tasks.
- Enhanced agentic search and step-by-step problem solving.
- Performs reliably across complex multi-turn reasoning tasks.
3. Validated by Real-World Users
- GitHub: Better multi-file refactoring and code adjustments.
- Rakuten Group: High precision debugging with minimal collateral changes.
- Windsurf: One standard deviation improvement on their junior dev benchmark - similar magnitude to Sonnet 3.7 → Sonnet 4.
4. Hybrid-Reasoning Benchmark Improvements
- Improvements across TAU-bench, GPQA Diamond, MMMLU, MMMU, AIME (with extended thinking).
- Stronger robustness in long-context reasoning tasks.
